Note 48 — John Pory to the Governor of Virginia (Sir Francis Wyatt)

Reading edition

Pory was mixed up. Boston Bay was Graaf Hendrycks Bay; Casco Bay (or sometimes the water between Cape Ann and Portsmouth, N. H.), Graaf Willem’s; Port Royal is now Annapolis Basin, Nova Scotia. The Dutch names in the text have been left in the half-translated state in which Pory wrote them. In modern Dutch, “States Hooke” would be Staten Hoek.
